for getting to Friday and for the NSD and overpayment!!



I've got a recipe in my Bero book if you'd like it?

Aaaw thanks Badger I would love it! That's really kind. My mum had a bero book when I was little but it got ruined Was real traditional cooking!

Great work on the overpayment Aamberle. I'm with you on the 'week closer to payday' bit - sometimes feel I'm wishing my life away waiting for the end of the month :rotfl:

Morning All , Thanks Badger for the recipe - might try that later in week.

Well not a lot to update really, except had a fab weekend. Caught up with friends over the weekend, and the sun shone woohoo. things seem so much better in the sunshine..

Did not have time to look at recipes ( I know I know) but did get up this morning to do al the ironing before it gets too hot..so all the ironing was done by 5.40am :j That is it for another week!

Other than that going to have to be NSD's most of the week ( mainly as I have no money) but also because I should:D

Anyway have a good Monday all xx

Fae

I didn't know you could stilll get the Be-ro book either, my mum had one that I used loads when growing up, mmmm think I may have to take a look

Hope you had a good weekend

Wow Amberle you are dedicated I just iron stuff as & when I need to wear something
Have you had a good weekend?

The be-ro book is really good, I was using it on Friday I made scones - did mean to do cheese straws as well but forgot

Ironing done by 5.40?! :eek: Go you! I can't even think about getting up at that time these days least of all to do ironing (surely the worst of all household jobs?!)

I didn't get time to make the tea loaf either so earmarking this weekend to do it now! Let us know what you think

slowlyfading

I can't imagine doing ironing at that time in the morning :eek: I'm not a fan of ironing at all.. hope you're having a good day

Morning All - Well I made it to pay day :j:j.
I can honestly say this has felt like the longest time ever...I knew things were going to be tough, but phew :eek: did not know how tough - anyway was so down with it I did not really even venture onto here - which is a bit silly I know as it would of probably kept me motivated - but hey ho..

Anyway I did not completely lose site of things, was using up everything in house where I could, sorted a few more things for ebay and even listed a few..made a couple of payments to the CC from sales - Even in the tough times, I still was using my proceeds for debts and not giving in :rotfl: Go me :T

Anyway will work through payment plan for month at the weekend - just thought I would pop on and update my diary and remind myself that that it will take time - but it is going down....

Anyway have a good day all xx

PS - Where has the summer gone? It is grey, dark and raining outside..:(

Fae

With you on Summer, as I was driving to work the morning I thought it looked more like early October than late July :eek:

Sounds like you are doing really well so def go you :dance: it does take time, but each little step is a step closer to the big goal

Fae
